And in winter you can relax in one of the many thermal spas. Small museums and great concerts, full activity while golfing or sailing, regenerate your energies while hiking through the wonderful countryside with its mild climate. Whether visits to a thermal spa, lovely small towns or a tour through the Seewinkel national park. A great variety of different offers guarantees wonderful holidays.

Water - the elixir of life:
In Burgenland the wet element is of major importance. Whether action and fun at the Neusiedler See lake or wellness in the thermal spas of Lutzmannsburg, Stegersbach and Bad Tatzmannsdorf. Fun and relaxation are on the agenda.

The temptation of excellent wines comes together with the tasting of authentic Pannonian delicacies. The traditional cuisine of the Burgenland is very manifold. And we like to serve these specialties to you: experience hospitality to the fore at cosy inns, "Buschenschenken" inns and excellent restaurants. And real gourmets already travel through the sunny wine-growing areas and taste the many different wines along the "Burgenland Weinstrasse" ...

Music in Burgenland ...

Already in the Middle Ages music was important in Burgenland. Later Joseph Haydn wrote great works of art for his patrons, the princes of Esterházy. Nowadays his compositions are being played every year at the popular Haydn Festival. And, of course, during performances of the Haydn Quartett. Franz Liszt, born in Raiding, was one of the really brilliant artists of his time. Fellow composer, Johann Strauss, wrote operettas such as "The Gypsy Baron", "The Merry Widow" and "Die Fledermaus" (The Bat) - today these works range among the standard repertoire of the famous Mörbisch Lake Festival.
